Choosing Comforter Sets For Daybeds

Putting The Final Touches On Your Daybed Masterpiece

Choosing comforter sets for daybeds can be both exciting and overwhelming ... exciting because you are like an artist putting the final touches on a masterpiece and overwhelming because there are so many daybed comforters to choose from.  By keeping a few things in mind, your selection can become a simple process.

Color

First off, color is crucial.  Sometimes it is easiest to work backwards and decide what colors will not go with your choice of daybed frames.

For example, if you have chosen a black day bed, you most likely would not want to choose a blue comforter set.

Also, you would probably not want dark colors as that would give the room an overbearing dark feel to it.  So by deciding what doesn't work, you have already narrowed your choices.

Pattern or Design

Pattern or design is another important feature to consider.  For a little boys room, it's obvious that you do not want a floral print.  But what about for your daughter?  Is she into girlie things and would like florals and pastels?  Or is she a tomboy and would take offense to those ruffles of eyelet?  Or maybe the daybed will be in your husband's home office so he's going to want something more manly or bold.

Material

The actual material that day bed comforters are made out of is most likely of little concern to the average owner.  Just a few obvious pointers as reminders.  Rugged use needs rugged material ... after all, kids will be kids.  High-class and more expensive material will further dress-up and enhance a high-end daybed choice and will fit well in a formal room.

Theme

Do you have a theme for the room?  Will you be wanting matching or coordinating accessories such as window treatments, or maybe wallpaper or borders?  Trying to coordinate throw pillows with your chosen daybed comforter sets is relatively simple.  But if you are wanting matching accessories, you will have to limit your selection some.  There are still many themes to choose from, and you can even find daybed linens to match your comforter set and other accessories.

Contrast and Complement

Most important of all, and hopefully something you were considering when you purchased the daybed itself, is that your daybed comforter set needs to complement your daybed frame.  A pale yellow floral print will not look as attractive with a light-colored wood daybed headboard as it would with a darker one or even a white iron or wicker daybed.  White-on-white and black-on-black each have their place, but contrasting and complementing colors work well for most rooms.

Decide on what you DON'T want, create some guidelines on what you DO want, and then start shopping.  If you've narrowed it down to 2 or 3 and can't decide, then go with your gut!

Remember, you can always change it in a few years.  Unlike the bed which should last for many years, comforter sets for daybeds are just like coats and are meant to be replaced every few years.
